leekspin 0.0.7

Leekspin (á la the original internet masterpiece) is
a small library for generating mocked Onion Router (OR) descriptors, such as
those used by relays and bridges within Tor in order to convey information about said
relay/bridge to directory authorities (DirAuths), the bridge authority
(BridgeAuth), clients connecting to the network (a.k.a. Onion Proxies (OP)),
etc.

This library is meant to be used to generate mock descriptors for testing
other Tor libraries and programs, such as Stem and BridgeDB.

Running

Leekspin will install a script named generate-OR-descriptors. To use it to
generate 20 descriptors, do:

$ generate-OR-descriptors -n 20

TODO

Currently, Leekspin only creates bridge descriptors such as these
. Much of Leekspin should be refactored, with new classes created based on
those used in Stem to create pretty data structures for each type of
descriptor. After that, Leekspin’s functionality should be extended to also be
capable of creating relay descriptors.
